RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 16-01-2015 19:52 Peter Capaldi's first season getting a re-run already on BBC3 : the first episode has just started. RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 23-01-2015 20:47 "Into the Dalek" finishes on BBC3 and now it's over to "Horror" and first episode is underway of "Death to the Daleks" with John Pertwee and Lis Sladen. Ah - classic series Dalek stories : "Dalek" in the title and no appearance of Daleks until the cliffhanger at the very end of episode one. You knew where you were in those days. Actually a good episode imo. Story gets a bit weaker towards the end in latter episodes though as I remember. Was one of my favourite stories in the 80s just from reading the book, too young to remember it actually on TV first time round. Didn't see it until years later on VHS. Terry Nation gets a bit of flak for formulaic writing and recycling plots, but a lot of action happens in 25 minutes, when sometimes Classic Who can feel very padded these days compared to the pace of standalone 45 minute episodes. Classic Nation episode one formula - strand the TARDIS on a hostile planet, separate the companion and Doctor early on. Very sparse dialogue as well for some sequences, quite a lot of location filming for 1970s Who, or it seems like it.

(transistor radio) RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 13-03-2015 07:28 By a supernatural coincidence, one of the few quasi-horror stories the show did, The Stones of Blood, is the story FV viewers will see when the show appears on Horror on FV 70 today RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 13-03-2015 11:36 ^ Quite a good story at the start, but it kind of falls apart once they get onto the "hyperspace spaceship" and gets very silly. (As it was prone to do in Tom Baker's latter days, post-Hinchcliffe & Holmes they were told to avoid horror because of the Whitehouse brigade). RE: Dr Who - munch1917 - 14-03-2015 16:48 Drama channel 7pm-9pm tonight 'An Adventure in Space and Time' Described as a dramatisation of how Doc Who was brought to the screen. Apparently includes a mini-documentary right at the end on William Hartnell's portrayal of the Doctor. RE: Dr Who - M-L-L - 14-03-2015 17:06 ^ It was first shown around the 50th anniversary, written by Mark Gatiss. They filmed some scenes in the old BBC TV centre building just before it closed and was sold off. It's quite well done : the actor playing Hartnell is good. There's a few nod-nod wink-wink post-modern Dr Who nerdy in-jokes but generally enjoyable. RE: Dr Who - Doddle - 14-03-2015 18:36 I thought it was crap Horror showed an omnibus of "The Ark in Space" today - much better |
